I Am The Way – Song

Description

The Centre for Music, Liturgy and the Arts is pleased to introduce the Walk as One songbook as individual songs. While many churches and leaders purchase music books, many wonderful songs in the books lie undiscovered. This initiative provides an affordable way for churches to learn and play new music, with or without musicians.

The “Walk as One” songbook was published in 2022. The Individual Song packs provide a way for all churches, including songbook owners, to listen, learn and sing this excellent collection of songs.

For each song, you receive these digital resources

• A copy of the sheet music score from the “Walk as One” songbook (PDF)
• An audio recording of the song (high quality m3)
• A plain Powerpoint file (white text on black)
• A colour Powerpoint file (white text on coloured image)
• A lyric video (audio recording with song lyrics)
• A plain text version of the song lyrics (for inserting into presentation software or printed orders)

I AM THE WAY

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.

Free all the innocent from their imprisonment.
Set the captives free.

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.

For daily bread we pray, just wages, honest pay.
Let God’s justice flow.

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.

Uncover all the lies, injustice in disguise.
Speak the truth to power.

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.

Question the powerful, stand with the vulnerable.
Shield them with your love.

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.

Treasure the earth and air, all creatures everywhere –
Christ the all in all.

I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
No darkness shall prevail.
I am the way, I am the truth, the life.
My love for you won’t fail.
